Senior care cost

Cities allow up 6 unrelated adults per house in R1 neighborhoods. Thus zoning allows small residential care homes in typical neighborhoods. Can be lucrative. Up $12k per month per resident less expenses.

I’m curious then why they’re closing. As I said, I’ve seen 3 go for sale in the last, say, 5 years–all in Woodside Plaza.

Flipping maybe more lucrative. I have seen a few converted back to sfhs. Takes a lot of work converting either way. The ramps, added bathrooms and exits change a house a lot.

I have seen places not taking medicare though.

Interesting. I saw one inside and the only issue was lack of a tub. I don’t mind the ramp.

Futureproof!

Ramps have to be a each exit. Can be a lot of ramps

I’m good with that. :slight_smile: Would be handy when my mom visits.

Sure, we all can perfect our skateboarding skills…

It’s very expensive to operate the elderly care business due to too many lawyers and too many government regulations. Government and lawyers will make people bankrupt.

LLC. That’s fine. High risk high reward.

If you are involved in day to day care, LLC won’t protect you from liability. If you are an absentee owner of the place, you may or may not be liable

I for sure wouldn’t be working day to day, i have a day job :slight_smile: if i ever do it, that is, i would still set it up so that someone else would take care of operations. I am really too busy for that.

Heh even for ā€œmanagementā€, would find someone else.

This is still interesting. It sounds like elder care, but it is still real estate business, whose payments are made through eldercare. Interesting indeed.

Dang it, @tomato, focus on how you can make a prefab Ferrari for $15k. Now, that, is would be interesting…

I would be fine with 30K shelby. still waiting to pull the trigger for it:)

Tomato, go for it. It’s a lucrative business. Everyone’s working, and parents don’t want to be a burden to the kids. This is the new future in elder-care.

@Terri,

Come on, let’s not egg on a Google employee to go exclusively into senior care as a career change…
